The European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) said there has been "excellent" cooperation from the Maltese police, customs and tax officials aimed at protecting EU taxpayers' money against fraud and corruption.

The remark was made by OLAF director general Franz-Hermann Brüner in the office's Annual Activity Report which illustrates its work inside and outside the EU in 28 case studies and statistical tables.

Last year, OLAF recovered €203 million that had been lost through fraud and other irregularities and by the end of the year it was investigating 452 cases.
